History of Paseo High School and the Kansas City Missouri School District A History of Paseo High School and The Kansas City Missouri School District Produced by the Paseo Alliance © Paseo Alliance website Paseon yearbooks 1927 - 1990 INTRODUCTION On July 19, 2006, eighteen or twenty Paseo graduates, most of whom had celebrated their fiftieth high school class reunion, gathered together for lunch to discuss how to preserve the legacy of their great school that had been demolished over sixteen years prior to that luncheon meeting. The school, a monument to progress, had been built and opened in 1926 and became a landmark in Kansas City. Sitting very high on a hill with its five stories and magnificent tower, the School could be seen for miles around. Architect Charles A. Smith considered the building one of his finest efforts, but the school came down, for all the wrong reasons. Although their building was gone, this group of alumni decided they would never let its legacy die. At that meeting in July, 2006, the group elected officers and were pleased that a graduate of Paseo, a retired Colonel, volunteered to act as the webmaster in order to enhance and preserve the memory of The Paseo High School. The group that gathered that day now call themselves The Paseo Alliance. After over four years, the Alliance now hosts four social/meeting functions each year and has a state-of- the-art website that has become the standard for all high schools. In early 2009, after a lengthy discussion, it was discovered that a history of The Paseo High School simply did not exist, so two volunteers set out to research the history of the school that has been all but lost forever. The website presently displays the beginning of the efforts of those two Paseo Alliance volunteer, novice historians. NOTES Within the Paseo Alliance website, a section has been devoted to the publication of The Paseon yearbooks that have been collected by Alliance members but scanning is not complete at this time. You will find that all books have been scanned and contain pages of the Administration, Faculty and Senior pages. Others have been completely scanned, front to back. This history of the Paseo High School and Kansas City School District is a work in progress so, please remember, your input with historical data, success stories and any other historical information of interest to others will be appreciated. Please continue checking this site for additional historical data as it is prepared. The history that follows is only the beginning. The Paseo High School September 6, 1924, The Kansas City Star. The above picture shows the new Paseo High School in its entirety as planned by Charles A. Smith, school architect, and approved by the Board of Education. The structure will occupy a commanding site on a hill two blocks south of Electric Park at Forty-Eighth Street and the Paseo and will face west. It is to be built of stone quarried on the hill, and trimmed with cut stone. When complete it will consist of seventy classrooms, auditorium, gymnasium, swimming pool, domestic science and manual training rooms and will cost $1,550,000. It will be five stories high, counting the basement floor. Only a first unit of the structure will be built this year. This unit will comprise the front part of the building as shown in the picture, and the north end. It will have thirty-five class rooms, domestic science rooms and a branch library, and will cost $850,000. The auditorium, gymnasium and other rooms will come later, as attendance demands. Bids for this first unit will be issued about November 1. Members of the School Board say the building will eventually be one of the finest public institutions of the city. The first part, when complete in September, 1926, will relieve crowded conditions at both Central and Westport high. David Wolfe, a 1955 Paseo High School Graduate, acquired this certified original architectural rendering in his Antique store. He presented it to the Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts in 2005, during his 50th Class Reunion activities. In the time period when the Paseo High School was constructed, architects used an artist medium referred to as Gouache, a thick watercolor, for painting the detail in their architectural presentations. CHARLES ASHLEY SMITH Architect 1867-1948 Charles A. Smith played an important role as a Kansas City architect from 1887 until his death in 1948 at the age of 81. He was the official architect to the Kansas City School Board from 1898 until his retirement from the position in 1936, during the most prolific time of school expansion and building in the District. Paseo High School is one of many schools in Kansas City which Smith designed. Smith‘s original 1924 architectural rendering of the Paseo High School hangs in the front foyer of the Paseo Academy of Fine Arts. Smith was born in Steubenville, Ohio on March 22, 1866. At age 16, following a public school education, he started working with the architectural firm of Bell & Hackney in Des Moines, Iowa, which relocated their offices to Kansas City in 1887. Smith came to Kansas City with William Hackney as a draftsman and became a partner of the firm in 1892. When Hackney died in 1898, Smith replaced Hackney as the official architect to the Kansas City Missouri School District. In 1910, Smith formed the firm of Smith, Rea & Lovitt. During Smith‘s tenure with the Schools, he designed more than 50 school buildings for the School District. In addition, he continued to work on non-school projects such as the Firestone Building at 2001 Grand, the Kansas City Club at 1228 Baltimore, the original Hereford Association Building at 300 West 11th, the Kansas City Municipal Airport, and the Kansas City Public Library at 500 East 9th. Two of Smith‘s last designs were the Fine Arts Building on the UMKC campus completed in 1942, and the Unity Temple at 47th and Jefferson, built in 1948. Smith has been credited for several technical advancements in ventilation and cleanliness that were adopted in schools throughout the country.

    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

  • Bethesda Park: "The Handsomest Park in the United States"
    THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY STORY Published Quarterly by The Montgomery County Historical Society Philip L. Cantelon Eleanor M. V. Cook President Editor Vol. 34, No. 3 August 1991 BETHESDA PARK: "THE HANDSOMEST PARK IN THE UNITED STATES" by William G. Allman If asked what late-19th century amusement park might have claimed to be "the handsomest park in the United States," first to come to mind would probably be part of the Coney Island complex or, on a more local level, perhaps Glen Echo Park or Marshall Hall. This boast, however, appeared in an 1893 newspaper advertisement for Bethesda Park, a short-lived (1891- 1896?) and rather obscure amusement facility in Montgomery County.1 In this, the centennial year of its inception, an examination of its brief history provides an interesting study of the practices of recreation and amusement in the 1890's and the role they played in suburban development. The last decade of the 19th century was the first decade of the era of the electric street railway, a major improvement in public transportation that contributed greatly to suburban development around American cities. With a significant extension of the radius of practicable commuting from the city center, developers could select land that lay beyond jurisdictional boundaries, embodied desirable topographical features, or fulfilled the "rural ideal" which was becoming increasingly attractive to urban Americans.2 The rural Bethesda District fell within such an extended commuting radius from the city of Washington, and had been skirted by the the county's first major transportational improvement - the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad completed in 1873.

  • Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance
    Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City By Lance Russell Owen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael Johns, Chair Professor Paul Groth Professor Margaret Crawford Professor Louise Mozingo Fall 2016 Abstract Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance Russell Owen Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Johns, Chair Between the World Wars, Kansas City, Missouri, achieved what no American city ever had, earning a Janus-faced reputation as America’s most beautiful and most corrupt and crime-ridden city. Delving into politics, architecture, social life, and artistic production, this dissertation explores the geographic realities of this peculiar identity. It illuminates the contours of the city’s two figurative territories: the corrupt and violent urban core presided over by political boss Tom Pendergast, and the pristine suburban world shaped by developer J. C. Nichols. It considers the ways in which these seemingly divergent regimes in fact shaped together the city’s most iconic features—its Country Club District and Plaza, a unique brand of jazz, a seemingly sophisticated aesthetic legacy written in boulevards and fine art, and a landscape of vice whose relative scale was unrivalled by that of any other American city. Finally, it elucidates the reality that, by sustaining these two worlds in one metropolis, America’s heartland city also sowed the seeds of its own destruction; with its cultural economy tied to political corruption and organized crime, its pristine suburban fabric woven from prejudice and exclusion, and its aspirations for urban greatness weighed down by provincial mindsets and mannerisms, Kansas City’s time in the limelight would be short lived.
